MP Norman Speaks To FA On ODT


MP Jesse Norman has met with the FA today to discuss the ODT rules:

Norman has repeatedly pushed the FA for action, with the second reading of the Football Governance Bill set to be done next week. The Bill, sponsored by Hereford educated MP Damian Collins, is listed as being:

A Bill to require professional and semi-professional football clubs in England to disclose the identity of their owners; to give the Football Association powers to block the ownership of a club by anyone whom they consider is not a fit and proper person; to require all creditors of a football club to be compensated equally should the club go into administration; to facilitate the raising by supporters’ organisations of the finance required to acquire a controlling stake in a football club; and for connected purposes.

Meanwhile, Hereford United have made a brief response to the FA charges over the failure to submit ODT forms for Alpha Choice Finance owner Alan McCarthy.

The statement reads:

The Club are investigating these issues and preparing a response.
